Abstract

Background

Sports are forces acting on the body or part of the body that exceed the body's ability to cope. These sports activities can result in injuries, whether from falls, impacts, or incorrect movements. Sports injuries are any type of injury that occurs during training, during sports (matches), or after a match. Sports injuries typically affect bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The RICE method is an injury management method that aims to prevent further injury and reduce pain. This activity was attended by 20 participants.

Objectives

The purpose of this community service is to provide scientific knowledge in the field of sports injury management using the RICE method to STOK Bina Guna students, theoretically and practically to improve their knowledge of sports injury management in the field.

Methods

The method used was direct outreach and training for STOK Bina Guna students, while still strictly adhering to health protocols. The outreach focused on managing sports injuries using the rice method, followed by training. This included pre-training outreach and a questionnaire at the end of the activity, after receiving the outreach.

Results

The results of the implementation of this community service program are as follows: 1) the socialization activity for handling sports injuries using the RICE method was carried out well, as indicated by the level of activeness of the participants in asking questions and 2) the training activities were carried out well, after being given a questionnaire, 14 respondents (70%) showed an increase in understanding of injury handling and 6 respondents (30%) still did not show a significant increase in understanding.

Conclusion

It can be concluded that there is a difference in knowledge about handling sports injuries using the RICE method after conducting training.
